I hope this isn't too far off subject but I would like to ask for the list's advice and recommendations.<BR>
Some of you in D5 have met my youngest (11 yrs) daughter Elizabeth. Up until now she has told <BR>
me she has no interest in learning to fly. In the last week or so she seems to be showing a slight interest.<BR>
She has started talking about wanting to "build" a plane with me. I don't think I can hold her interest<BR>
with a full blown kit construction, especially with winter here in Iowa just around the corner and the chances of having <BR>
it done before it turns too cold slim. Also, I don't think I want to try to get her interested with some fire breathing<BR>
glow plane that may intimidate her. What about an electric sailplane? Anyone have any suggestions along<BR>
those lines? Anyone been thru this before with one of their kids? Nothing would make me happier than if she took<BR>
up the hobby but I realize I need to go very slow and let her get in to it at her own pace.<BR>
Thanks for any ideas!<BR>
